    In RoboCup, robots must make quick decisions under uncertainty. To this end,
    this paper introduces a new approach to enable humanoid soccer robots to
    execute kicks quickly and ensure that they move the ball down field. This
    paper presents a kick engine capable of kicking at a variety of distances and
    angles and then describes a novel kick decision method for selecting from
    among a large set of possible kicks. This method prunes and orders the kicks
    according to a metric and then chooses the first possible kick that ensures
    that our field position is improved. For the RoboCup 2010 challenge events,
    we took a more cautious approach, taking additional time to line up the ball
    and being more conservative in our kick selection.  These methods proved
    successful at RoboCup 2010, as our UT Austin Villa team came in third in the
    soccer competition and second in the challenges.
